The aim was mostly to show Craft developers how easy it is to integrate Snipcart with the awesome CMS that Craft is. Anna Brown was kind enough to demo some code and illustrate how she implemented our shopping cart for a cool e-commerce project (see: Sackwear).

As promised during the Hangout, we’re sharing the session’s recording on our blog. Since we already know many Craft developers are interested in using Snipcart, we believe the video itself can be a valuable tutorial and QA forum. Here it is:

Live Hangout TL;DW

Don’t have the time to watch the whole Hangout embedded above? No worries, we’ve got you covered. You’ll find all the important stuff we talked about under the following Questions asked and Helpful resources sections.

Questions asked: our answers

Below are all the questions that were asked on Twitter with our related answers. We’ve included relevant links and resources when appropriate.

Jacob Graf asked: What prevents someone from modifying data-item-price in dev tools to name their own price?

A: We ensure a crawl-back double check on every transaction to prevent anyone from doing this. Take a look at this security section of our documentation.

Gabriel Garrido asked: Can I use jQuery to set a minimum of amount of items in the cart before being able to checkout and not break anything?

A: For the moment, we don’t have a way to do this. We plan to add custom validation through our Javascript API. It might be possible to do something with what we already have in place in our Javascript API.

Andrea DeMers asked: Can the Snipcart Checkout also be localized for fully multilingual store?

Second one is a cool plugin developed by our friend Matt Stein. It allows users to browse through orders, customers and discounts directly inside the CMS control panel. You can check it out on GitHub.

Of course, the most helpful resource of all is still us. If you have any question, idea or suggestion, you can contact us anytime at geeks@snipcart.com. We’ll be pleased to help you or discuss anything Snipcart/Craft-related.

We’d like to sincerely thank everyone who attended our live Hangout. We hope some of you end up building something really awesome with Snipcart & Craft. And also: major shoutout to Anna Brown for doing this demo with us. Thanks for your time, your support and your expertise, Anna (you’re awesome).
